Wear It Blue

Wear it Blue

Wear it Blue is our most recognisable fundraising campaign. We run it throughout the year but it’s always most popular on and around International MPS Awareness Day which is celebrated on 15 May every year.

The idea is simple, wear it blue and donate £1 to the MPS Society. It couldn’t be easier. But we have tried to make it even easier by putting together this leaflet to help you make the most of your Wear it Blue event.

Whatever you decide to do remember to get in touch to let us know what you have planned. You can also request a fundraising pack, which is full of useful information, balloons, leaflets and posters, or download a selection of fundraising materials.

Local press are often interested in charity stories, so don’t forget to let them know what is going on, when and why. We have put together a draft press release that you can adapt to use with your local press.

Now, more than ever, your regular donations ensure that the Society is able to confidently plan for the future. Your donation is vital to help us continue our services supporting families and funding research into treatments for the coming year.

Thanks to better diagnosis and treatment, the MPS Society's membership continues to grow whilst at the same time, the squeeze on public spending and the Government's recent changes to the benefits system have affected many of you. As a result, the number of calls to our advocacy service has risen and we want to ensure we can continue to provide the same level of care and support to all our members, wherever you are in the UK.

We have come a long way, and made some big achievements thanks to your donations. See how your money will continue to help.
